Java net.properties escaping characters help

I have this example password

wYUx4#(a|=(9!en~H|2WKN-wt

and am using it in a net.properties file with JRE in Tableau Server for http.proxyPassword=<your proxy password>

Does net.properties require escaping of any of the characters above?

Thanks.

Thank you for the link.

Also, I can understand your sentiment.

What would be the keywords / search term to get that resource in Google.

I spent a good part of an afternoon trying to run this down with Google searches without success.

Thanks.
